22323. Ms. No - 7/30/2007 5:22:35 PM Oooh, good Floyd tune. Heck, 'most all their tunes are good. 22324. thoughtful - 7/30/2007 5:46:03 PM I've not been around awhile...my brother died a week ago thursday. He was only 55. I'm trying to keep my poor mother going...keep her well wrapped in duct tape. It's been really awful on her. My mother nursed his wife through lung cancer until she died in Nov. Then in Jan. she found out she had lung cancer herself and needed surgery. We got her through that, and now my brother offed himself...mainly over losing his wife, though he's been a troubled soul all his life. Not good, so much tragedy piling on. It's hard enough for any parent to lose a child, but losing him this way is really, really rough. 22325. arkymalarky - 7/30/2007 5:54:26 PM Oh Thoughtful, I am so sorry! I don't know what else to say, your family has been hit so hard in the last few months. I'm glad you and your mother have each other. 22326. Jenerator - 7/30/2007 6:14:55 PM Oh Thoughtful. My heart goes out to you and your family. 22327. Ms. No - 7/30/2007 6:21:58 PM Thoughtful, I'm so sorry for your family's loss. I'll keep you and yours in my thoughts. 22328. wabbit - 7/30/2007 9:05:34 PM Thoughtful, I'm so sorry to hear about your brother, this has been such a difficult year for you and your family. You have my very best thoughts and sincerest condolences. 22329. thoughtful - 7/30/2007 10:18:46 PM Thanks arky, jen, msno and wabbit. Your thoughts and words are comforting. 22330. judithathome - 7/31/2007 3:16:51 AM Gads, I hardly know what to say that hasn't been expressed already...you're in my thoughts and I feel for you and yours, Thoughtful. 22331. Magoseph - 7/31/2007 4:03:50 AM I'm very sorry for your loss, thoughtful. 22332. Ulgine Barrows - 7/31/2007 8:47:01 AM 22324. thoughtful
I am sad to read the news. How are you doing?
Your quip of duct tape tells me you are broken, but bearing up.
Damn suicides, you always think you should have seen a sign!
If you have a good memory of your brother you'd care to share, please do; and if not, I understand anger. 22333. Macnas - 7/31/2007 8:51:01 AM Thougtful
That's sad news girl, and I'm sorry to hear it. 22334. thoughtful - 7/31/2007 5:24:06 PM I really appreciate your kind thoughts, J@h, mags, ulgine and Macnas.
I'm hard pressed to come up with a good memory of him.
Perhaps the fact that some strange woman he knew called me after he died to tell me he blamed me for everything that went wrong in his life has something to do with it... 22335. wabbit - 7/31/2007 5:29:35 PM wtf is wrong with people? How small and spiteful of her. Honestly, I don't understand people anymore. 22336. thoughtful - 7/31/2007 5:48:29 PM Then she had the balls to end the call with, I'm so glad I called you....I'm feeling much better now... 22337. thoughtful - 7/31/2007 5:51:47 PM Of course, desperate to replace the gape my SIL's death left in his life, he'd asked this woman to marry him the day before he died and she said no.
Obviously, she had to lay her own guilt on someone else...just as I was for my brother, I became her dumping ground too. 22338. wabbit - 7/31/2007 6:29:26 PM Of course, she accepts no responsibility for her role at all. Unreal.
Well, for what it's worth, I've always known you to be the very best kind of person. 22339. thoughtful - 7/31/2007 6:39:53 PM Thanks wabbit. It means a lot! 22340. wonkers2 - 7/31/2007 10:43:53 PM Sorry about your brother, Thoughtful and for the call from the evil woman who called you after his death. I'm sure you don't deserve the guilt trip she tried to lay on you.
22341. alistairConnor - 7/31/2007 10:50:35 PM People have to live their own lives, after all, and they have to go to hell their own way. It's sad that some people, as adults, get stuck in a rut of family relationships. It's not supposed to govern our lives. We're supposed to grow beyond it.
I'm really sorry Thoughtful, there are no short cuts to get through the suffering, but we're here to back you up. 22342. anomie - 7/31/2007 11:59:05 PM Sorry to read of your latest loss, Thoughtful.
